OpenZiti

Zero trust overlay network that secures services, not IPs

About OpenZiti

OpenZiti is a fully featured, zero-trust, full-mesh overlay network that makes identity, not IP addresses, the core of networking. It eliminates static IPs, NAT, and firewall complexity with deny-by-default access, end-to-end encryption, SDKs that embed connectivity into applications, and tunnelers for existing hosts and services. With two-factor support and clients for major desktop and mobile systems, it offers application access, host access, and network access models that organizations can deploy at their own pace, including a free community self-hosted option.
